The document compares family values in America and China. In traditional families, the male is expected to be the sole provider for the family and have decision-making power in China, while in America both parents can work and share responsibilities. Traditionally, Chinese mothers stayed home while American mothers could work, but many modern families in both cultures have two working parents. Marriage is highly valued in both cultures but divorce is less stigmatized in America. Elders are respected in both but typically live with family in China. Children are expected to obey parents without question traditionally in China but American parenting is generally more lenient.

Family
This document discusses different types of modern families. It describes families headed by single parents or grandparents raising grandchildren, couples who cohabit or have no children, multi-generational households with adult children moving back home, and blended families formed through remarriage with step-relationships. The traditional nuclear family of two married parents living with their biological children is no longer the only or most common family structure.
Family life in the us
The traditional nuclear family structure of two married parents raising biological children has become less common in the United States. Alternative family forms such as single-parent households, unmarried couples living together, and same-sex parents have grown in prevalence due to factors like higher divorce rates, women increasingly working outside the home, and greater social acceptance of diverse living situations. However, the family unit remains an important part of American society, even as families have become more mobile and family structures more varied.
HKBU POLS 3620, Family relation between China and Western Europe by Lai Hoi-y...
The document summarizes and compares differences in family structures and relationships between China and Western Europe. Some key differences include: China traditionally views the family as the central unit of society, while Western Europe views the individual as central. Chinese families tend to be larger and more multigenerational, with stronger ties to extended family. Relationships in Chinese families are based more on hierarchy and obligation between generations, while Western European families emphasize equality and communication within nuclear family units.
The American Family
This document summarizes changes in American family structures from the 1950s to today. It discusses the emphasis on individual freedom and equality in modern families. Traditional nuclear families made up most households in the 1950s, but now many families are single-parent, blended, multi-generational for support, or same-sex couples. Marriage and children are no longer the only path, and divorce is common. The role of children is to pursue individual happiness rather than family responsibilities.
Family values shane
The document compares traditional American, contemporary American, and traditional Chinese family values. Traditional American values opposed pre-marital sex, homosexuality, feminism, and abortion, and supported abstinence and the father as head of household. Contemporary American values support non-traditional families, abortion, sex education, and the separation of church and state. Traditional Chinese values placed the father as head and women in domestic roles, only allowed men to inherit property, and sometimes favored sons over daughters.

Family Values by Rafika
This document compares family values between Indonesian and American families in several areas:
Child raising - In America, children may have their own rooms from birth and learn responsibility early, while in Indonesia babies sleep with parents.
Young adulthood - Americans are encouraged to leave home in their late teens/early 20s, while Indonesian young adults typically don't.
Elderly - The document doesn't provide details on treatment of the elderly.
Nuclear vs extended family - American families typically live independently as nuclear units, while Indonesian families maintain closer ties to extended family.
Gender roles - Traditionally the man provided financially and the woman cared for home/children, but these are becoming less fixed
AS Sociology: Issues of Family Diversity
The document discusses how family structures in modern Britain have become more diverse, with examples of nuclear families, extended families, single-parent families, reconstituted families, homosexual families, and families from different ethnic groups. It analyzes factors that have led to changes in traditional family forms and greater diversity, including divorce, changing gender roles, and immigration. In conclusion, it confirms that family life in Britain has indeed become more diverse, as there is no single dominant family type anymore.
Family types sociology
This document summarizes different family types in sociology. It discusses nuclear families, extended families, single-parent families, and other types like singletons, same-sex families, and reconstituted families. It also examines factors like class differences, trends over time showing declining nuclear families and rising single-parent families, and debates between functionalists, feminists, and others regarding the ideal family structure.
One Child Policy In China
The one child policy was introduced in China in 1979 to control the country's large population growth. It restricted urban families to only one child and rural families to two if the first was a girl. This led to forced abortions and sterilizations to meet quotas. It also caused societal issues like a gender imbalance. While it achieved population control, it was also criticized for infringing on personal freedoms. Recent changes allow two children per family and ban forced birth control measures.
AS Sociology & the Family
Most sociologists believe that Britain has diverse family structures. Families found in Britain today include nuclear families (mother, father, children), extended families (grandparents, parents, children), single parent families, and step families. The media often portray families as having the woman as the homemaker and mother, while the man is the wage earner. Ethnic minorities also contribute to family diversity in Britain, with South Asian families tending to be more extended, and West Indian families more likely to be single parent and matriarchal in structure.
Fatherless children
This document discusses the negative impacts that growing up without a father can have on children. It states that children with absent biological fathers are at higher risk for things like teen pregnancy, lower educational attainment, and unstable future relationships. The document also shares statistics showing links between father absence and higher rates of drug use in children. A personal story is given of a mother who raised five children alone and struggled with depression due to the burden. The conclusion calls for parents, friends, teachers and society to provide more support to fatherless children and make changes to help children grow up happily with both parents whenever possible.
Families
Family traditions play an important role in defining family values and giving families a sense of identity and belonging. Russian family traditions tend to be more patriarchal, with clearly defined gender roles and a male head of household. American family traditions incorporate both religious and secular celebrations and are more likely to have two or three children due to greater government support. Divorce is more common in America due to the cultural value placed on individual freedom and happiness over family obligations. Maintaining love, support and understanding within the family is important for overcoming challenges.
Family and ethnicity gcse sociology
The document discusses family diversity within Asian and Afro-Caribbean communities in the UK. It notes that immigration in the 1950s and 1960s led to significant populations from these communities. For Afro-Caribbean families, women are more likely to be lone parents or economically independent, with strong family support networks centered around the mother. Asian families often come from cultures with strong family ties and arranged marriages, but in the UK women can feel isolated while young Asian adults may be torn between tradition and individual choice. The document examines these differing family forms compared to the traditional nuclear family.
Powerpoint
This document discusses research on social dysfunctions in children caused by single-parent homes. Some studies have shown that children raised without fathers are more likely to engage in criminal behavior or teenage pregnancy. When raising a child alone, single parents need to spend more time with their child to fill the gap from the missing parent. Research also indicates that children from single-parent homes often have poorer school performance or drop out. While divorce may be unavoidable, communities can help single parents support their children's development and prevent negative outcomes.
Sociology Chapter 11 family and marriage
This document summarizes key concepts about families and marriage from a textbook. It defines what constitutes a family and describes how family structures have changed over time and varied across societies. Nuclear and extended families are defined. The functions of families are described as providing social and emotional support, reproduction, regulating sexuality, transmitting status, and economic roles. Theoretical perspectives on families including conflict theory and symbolic interactionism are overviewed. Characteristics of American families and marriage practices such as monogamy, polygamy, and factors in choosing a mate are outlined. Reasons for the high divorce rate in the US are presented along with trends in blended, single-parent, childless, and dual-employed families and increasing rates of cohabitation
Different types of families
The document discusses different types of family structures that have emerged in recent decades beyond the traditional nuclear family. It identifies nuclear families, extended families, adoptive families, single-parent families, childless families, step-families, same-sex families, never-married families, and notes that there is no single right family type as long as it is filled with love and support.
Causes of change in the family
The document discusses several factors that cause changes in families, including family planning, mass media, peer groups, and dual-career families. It also describes legal options like legal separation and annulment. Additionally, it notes that changes in society have made husbands and wives physically and psychologically distant from each other and their children. Finally, it provides details on nuclear families in contemporary Philippine society, noting smaller family sizes on average now and changes in family composition due to increases in divorce, non-marital childrearing, legal separation, and early death of a spouse.
Single parent
This document discusses single parenthood, which it defines as the smallest form of society containing a single head of the family and family members living under one roof. It notes that single parenthood can arise through divorce, death, jobs, or accidental pregnancy and can have both positive and negative effects on children, such as changing behavior, less confidence and creativity, or becoming tougher. The conclusion states that while being a single parent is difficult, it is not a disaster if the single parent is able to properly care for their family.
My family powerpoint
This document discusses different types of families, including nuclear families consisting of parents and children, extended families with additional relatives living together, and single parent families with one parent and children. It provides examples of family members like fathers, mothers, siblings, grandparents, and notes that family size can vary from small to large.
Cross Curtural Understanding : family values
This document discusses family values in American culture. It notes that American families traditionally value independence and individualism. Children are often given their own rooms from a young age and are taught responsibility. Many young adults leave home between 18-21 to begin independent lives, and parents do not typically arrange marriages. Elderly family members may be supported by social programs instead of family. While nuclear families are common, some extended families remain close-knit through shared religious or ethnic backgrounds.
Gay marriage n
Gay marriage and the rights of LGBTQ individuals have been a long struggle. The document discusses the history and definitions related to being gay as well as perspectives on gay marriage around the world. While some cultures are less accepting, many places in Europe, America and Australia have become more supportive with some countries legally recognizing gay marriage and providing protections. However, lack of acceptance and discrimination can negatively impact the mental and physical health of gay individuals. There is also debate around gay couples adopting children, though research suggests children of gay parents develop normally.
Sustainability - Panda Conservation in China
This document contains information about pandas and Chinese culture presented as if for a classroom activity. It includes:
- Background on the importance of family in Chinese culture, including traditions like respecting elders and multigenerational living.
- Facts about giant pandas, such as their endangered status, bamboo-based diet, and habitat in central China.
- A scenario-based activity where students learn about threats to pandas like hunting and habitat loss, and solutions like wildlife protection laws.
- Suggestions for how students can support panda conservation through organizations and zoos.
China vs japan climate
The document compares climate change issues in China and Japan. In China, major problems include air and water pollution from industry, cars and coal plants, deforestation which threatens food supply and destroys land, and cancer villages. Japan faces similar problems to China but has adopted more effective waste management through recycling and renewable energy. The document calls for new policies in both countries to reduce pollution, implement carbon taxes, transition to renewable energy sources, and increase industrial energy efficiency.

- 1. A M E R I C A V S . C H I N A A C O M P A R I S O N O F V A L U E S B Y : A D A M S B R A G A I Family Values
- 2. Gender Roles: Male, America vs. China In the western society, the male is generally viewed as the main source of income for the household. It is the male’s job to work and feed his family while protecting them. In the traditional Chinese family, the man is responsible for maintaining, providing for and protecting his family. At the same time, he is given all the decision-making power when it comes to his wife, family and other family members. He is also responsible for taking care of and paying for his children, including their education, until they are married.
- 3. Gender Roles: Female, America vs. China In traditional western families, the female’s job is to be the mom, and to take care of the children while being a “stay-at-home mom”. Yet this is no longer the case, and for many families the mom is the one with the primary source of income, and the male stays at home. Traditional Chinese mothers usually stay in the home to take care of the home, the children, and the rest of the family. Many modern Chinese women have careers, but still rely on their husbands or fathers for financial support at some point in their lives.
- 4. Marriage: America vs. China Marriage in the American society is valued heavily, with the exact definition of it being argued currently. Couples are able to choose their partner, yet some still ask for the approval of the others parents. Also, in western society divorce is not as looked down upon, and happens more frequently. Marriage, family and children are very important in the Chinese culture. Traditional marriages were arranged by the parents of the bride and groom. Many couples never even met one another until their wedding day. Modern Chinese couples choose their own partners, but many still ask for their elders' approval.
- 5. Elders: America vs. China In modern American families, it is rare now-a-days to find a family living with their extended family. Elders are still respected, but not put on as high a pedestal as many other cultures do. In both traditional and modern families, elders are respected, taken care of and looked up to by the rest of the family. In traditional families, including those living in a rural environment, many households include five generations living together. Even in modern households, many grandparents live with their children and their kids.
- 6. Children: America vs. China In American families, parents treat their children not nearly as strict as the Chinese parents do. The American family has a more lenient approach to teaching, rarely using physical disciplinary actions and generally trying to talk them through things. In traditional families, all children are expected to obey their parents without discussion. In modern China, both girls and boys are usually treated equally. While many Chinese parents are strict, using physical discipline techniques and force able threats, they are more lenient and flexible than in the past.
